Nor is it an hour wasted, if .you come away with a good idea for a hair-do, a better-fitting dress, an effective way to wear a flower. Renic of Hollywood, RKO de signer, who knows from watch ing the stars whom she dresses what they do to achieve perfec tion, says it's the hours spent in front of mirrors that turn the tricks. ' "Mai-lone Dietrich will worry all day about draping a scarf just so or where to wear a flow (.v" -q.j Rpnic. "and will trv it on all the way down to her feet and Daek up again." And where will she finally pin it? On her stomach, says Itenio, and to' justify the new location of her corsage she'll have a dress draped so as to give it a special spot. Ginger Rogers' sheer perfec tion in clothes, says Renic, comes from viewing herself poir' and coming in' u Ihrec-liercd mirror which commands a 20-toot per spective. According to this de signer, if more girls would fol low Ginger's example, and would walk back and forth so that the dress under, consideration could be studied in motion from all angles- especially from the rear view there would be fewer er rors made'in selecting clothes. More wardrobe hits would be scored if women would watch for these points of rear-view be havior. One is a waistline low er in the back than the front.

In "Those ; Enduring Young Charms" by tumbling her hair in front of a mirror. The new style is a feather-cut bob, which Laraine hit upon by pushing her hair up to form an upflung frame. It promised more Tlat tcry, so off she went to have it cut, curled and-flipped up. To keep it shining, says Rcnie, she's willing to spend time in front of her mirror brushing it ten minutes twice a day, which keeps curls bouncy. She has frequent pcrmancnls and also oil sham poos to keep luster heightened. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Sixth and Spring '. ' : , ( . -' ' R. E. Stanley Hunt, Pastor . 9:45 ii.ni.
